Okay, just watched that video, and he has one of the most unique tackling styles I've ever seen. I'm not sure how I feel about it...
Obviously he is throwing dudes like rag dolls, but almost all of his tackles were initiated by using his hands instead of his body. On other guys, I would say these are arm tackles and that won't play well in the NFL. On him, he seems very strong and so maybe it will?
The other thing is that he rolls the runner up, by using his momentum to spin them down. Would he be easily thrown off a spinning NFL runner with great balance? Or would he put them all on IR by destroying them?
Concerning for me was the horse collars, of which I saw like 4 in the highlight video. That's 15 yards a pop.
I really liked his speed, aggressiveness and the angles he takes... he also seems to fight through blocks well.
